Japheth's Story

My passion is cameras.

This became my passion as a kid, when my mom would take me to PC Richards and I would get lost in the photography and film section. When watching the movie Spider-Man, I would scream out, "Mommy, look at that shot!" Now, when I'm invited to a banquet or a symposium, I somehow find myself taking more pictures than the photographer that was hired.

Truly, I am a believer that there is no such thing as perfection on earth, but I do believe in coming close to perfection. Doing so takes a lot of practice, and I am hoping that attending NYIT Filmmaker's Bootcamp brings me a step closer to where I am trying to get (perfection).

A Note from Ms. Bolden, Japheth's Mentor

"Japheth displays his passion for the arts every Sunday. He is always the first to arrive and offer to help fix whatever crisis is happening that morning, whether it be singing, technical support, mix board, camera, or general placement. As a filmmaker myself, I find it necessary to know all aspects of the production in case you have to fix the situation yourself.

Japheth has a passion that is very rare. He will always put his personal feelings aside for the greater good, and he wants to make sure that every young person's opinion matters. By being in the NYIT Bootcamp, he will get the proper training in order to spread his message, whatever subject may be. With proper training, Japheth could change the world and become a true artist activist. There are not many young people who would stand up for what they believe in, so we need to support the ones who do."
